The General Wine Bar / Zonte's Footstep Cellar Door & Kitchen

I've been wanting to eat here for ages. So much so I was given a voucher for Xmas.finally got there today and was blown away.
The beef roast with all the trimmings (especially the yorkies) was the most delicious roast ever.
Although I was completely full off roast, I still managed the very tasty sticky date pud.
Now home to sleep it off
Thank you Vik and your friendly staff for an amazing afternoon.
We will be back.so worth our trip from the northern suburbs.

Went again but with a family of 7. One family member has a few allergies and they couldn't do enough for them to still be able to join in on the amazing roast that Liz cooks. The service as always was above and beyond. We drive 90 minutes to get a fed. Liz you and your team are amazing.

This place is amazing.
Sunday Roasts English style with great Aussie wine.
A generous serve of Roast beef with all the trimmings 2 large Yorkshire puddings followed by Apple crumble made with Zonte wine.
10/10

The General is a hidden gem! We are absolutely blown away with the whole experience! Vik and the team are always so very friendly and welcoming, it’s like a home from home!
We love Vik’s English passion about food and get so excited to see the menus.
The roasts are amazing, everything is so very fresh and delicious.
We just enjoyed a special gammon lunch which was fantastic, can’t recommend The General enough.
Would give 10 stars if we could.

Since moving to South Australia from UK our family struggled to find home comforts.until we found Vikki and all the team at The General. The roasts are outstanding, cooked to perfection every time with the best cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puds. All fresh produce made the right way!
As soon as you walk in you feel like your having lunch with family. 5 + stars

The BEST roast I’ve ever had in over 3 years in Australia. (And a contender for some of the best roasts I’ve probably ever had!) Vik is an exceptional cook, serving generous portions, and she and the whole team provide the most wonderful service. You can’t go without sampling one of the delicious Zonte wines too!
A gem in Adelaide that I am so glad to have found! You can really tell, and feel, you’re in a place full of love. I couldn’t imagine not having The General in my life now and cannot wait for all our future visits!

Wow! Absolutely fabulous lunch here today. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Vikki so friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend, the food was sooo tasty. We will without doubt be back. Can’t wait.

Had the Sunday Roast and Vikki's Choc bread and butter pudding.
The Sunday roast was excellent with all the trimmings and proper Yorkshire puddings with plenty of veg and roast potatoes the beef just melted in your mouth perfectly cooked and Vikki's twist on the Choc bread and butter pudding was delicious.
The staff were really friendly and helpful, I will definitely come back here again without a doubt highly recommended, thank you Vikki and staff for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon on my birthday.

Need another star so we can rate it 6 stars! Excellent service and food was top notch. You'll struggle to find a main + dessert and a glass of wine this cheap. Well worth the drive.

We had the most amazing time for my wife’s birthday.
Vikki was so accomodating and everyone who came was so impressed with not only the venue and the service, but also the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings.
The food was delicious and there was plenty of Yorkies ;)
We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending.

Enjoyed a fantastic Friday night meal here courtesy of Chef Joe. What an absolute delight in every aspect. Beautifully cooked and presented food and excellent service from Ethan. Would highly recommend The General!

Lovely wine bar, went in with a group of 11 on the 12/3 for a wine tasting and they were very accommodating.
Staff were so nice and manager is so bubbly and friendly.
They even gave me a free wine tasting for my birthday which was so lovely!

Just dropped in for a drink, and have to say what a fabulous atmosphere, great staff and awesome wine selection! What more can you ask for! A must visit if your heading to McLaren Vale. Victoria was an amazing host super friendly and welcoming, our Expresso Martini’s were just what we needed. Will definitely be back!

Visited on a Saturday night for the chef's set menu. An exceptionally tasty and enjoyable experience, in a very relaxed atmosphere. Lovely venue and friendly staff. Great value too - we're from Adelaide and if this menu was served up here it would be twice the cost. Highly recommended if visiting McLaren Vale. The locals are lucky to have a gem like this.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Hight recommend bthe roast. Also great local art on display as well. A absolute must. ️Thanks for making us welcome.

Quaint building, tasty wines for a visit. We go back for the Sunday lunches with 10 vegetables, all the trimmings and lovely service.

I had high hopes for The General (now that they've changed things up to have a proper menu), being the only eatery in our local area. I was not disappointed! The food was ridiculously good, the kind of quality you expect from a high-end restaurant - so fresh and tasty. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and very reasonably priced food and drinks, it felt fancy yet totally unpretentious. Bonus points for being super vegetarian-friendly. Highly recommend:)

The brunch we had this morning was delectable, and the many dishes that passed our table looked amazing. Thank you, we will be back for sure.

Love the vibe The General gives the moment you walk in the door - always helps when the wine is delicious as well!

Great place to hang out with mates after a week of work. Great staff. Great Wines. Great beers.
